King Charles III's coronation took place Saturday, but the embellishments on his crown weren't the only family jewels people were talking about ahead of the event.
On Thursday, some cocky pranksters mowed an impressive 30-ft penis into the lawn of the Royal Crescent in Bath, England where a major "grand coronation party" honoring the King was to be held.
You can see the masterpiece—dubbed "The Mystery Phallus"—below.

The area known for its perfect lawn—and now for its art—became the internet's playground and Twitter went nuts.
People straight-up had their suspicions...

While the royal family has yet to comment, it's likely the prank got a rise out of them.
But we have to admit, it was a ballsy move.
